lyrics

There’s gold to be found in caverns deep
But in this town no one speaks
Come and see this place is bleak
Just follow me if it’s gold you seek

I left this place in time
I left you behind with dust in your eyes
You blackmailed, you bribed
You compulsively lied
You’re always at my door
I don’t want you any more

Down in these pits and I still see well
You’ve paid all our entries with a diamond cheque
That’s the calling card of any social climber
It’s not gold if it’s around your neck
The silver and the jewels won’t get you very far
In this small small town
With no wit and no charm
Can’t wait to see the day where we all escape this place
It can’t be far away

There’s gold to be found in caverns deep
But in this town no one speaks
Come and see this place is bleak
Just follow me if it’s gold you seek

Come to this town and you’re guaranteed
You’ll never escape you’ll lose all your keys
All lights are off as they relate to me
You’re always quick to shout
Never quick to speak
